aka: Tomb Raider Collection
Moby ID: 50967

PlayStation 3 version

Three fantastic games, one legend, one low price!

The Good
What happens when you mix an entertainment icon who's in her 15-year run with a curvaceous body, a successful of 3 favorite games over the past decade, and a collection so stunning even Nathan Drake started his first adventure as a treasure hunter. "The Tomb Raider Trilogy!" is worth buying at one itty-bitty low price! My favorite Tomb Raider games were Legend and Underworld! Both were awe-inspiring and sometimes you just can't enough of Lara Croft when she's up to something more dangerous and more personal from riding a Harley-like motorcycle to swimming deep into the abyss. The games look incredible with the intense HD experience, thank goodness it's not in 3-D. Along with a list of features including exclusive content from "Underworld" and a theme to put on your PS3 desktop. The talented Keeley Hawes delivers a fantastic choice to voice Lara in a type of attitude that she always enjoys.

The Bad
The camera angles feels tired although I'm not making it up. But ever since Legend came out in '06, I thought it will be a cool opportunity to get past through the dark moments after the downfall of "The Angel of Darkness" and start making a reboot from scratch. The controls were great, but the button-mashing were unattached because you have to be on the lookout for dangerous creatures and environmental traps because you'll never know when to expect whether it's killed or be killed.

The Bottom Line
If "Guardian of Light" wasn't enough for your craving appetite, try this! For around $40 bucks, this will be added to your collection of PS3's signature Greatest Hits line. I'm so amped for the reboot of the Tomb Raider series because I can't wait for Fall 2012. I'm still in shock that Lara has turned her good ponytail locks and a busty-sized pinup to a real serious and painful look and ready to go in Survival Mode in her next adventure. I know it's still an adventure title, but I'm still puzzled if the game will be still a Teen-rated game or an M-rated version for the first time in the franchise. But most of all, if you have a great HD Collection like Prince of Persia and God of War, then you'll be edged to your seat going down to a local video game store and pick up a hot deal. "The Tomb Raider Trilogy" is worth playing and worth buying to loyal fans of Lara Croft who has been overcome a tough ride over the past decade and now she's mine on my Christmas list.
